What do you think about Orthodox Christianity and the Eastern Church?

I don't

That they are just as wrong as the rest of them...

They get ignored because we in the West are ignorant of them.

More legitimate than any protestant cults could ever possibly be.

Does it matter?

i don't. what about it?

As a teenager, I once attended my neighbor's Russian Orthodox Church and I was impressed by their reverence and by the beauty of their rituals.

It's the best. I converted 4 years ago & never looked back. Apostolic tradition is the way to go!

I really don't have a lot of contact with them directly.

I know that they figured out Rome was wrong by the year 1054 AD.

So, they must have been pretty smart, back then anyway.

They call themselves the Orthodox Church and the word, "orthodox" means "original".

They require their clergy to be married and that's a good thing.

They baptize babies by immersion.

They understand what that word "Baptism" means, but they apparently don't understand Matt 28:19-20 means that first you are supposed to make new disciples, then you are supposed to baptize the new disciple.

I've never had any serious conversations with any of them.

I'd love to get to know them better.

part of the apostolic church.. catholic church.. not in communion with Rome.

It is considered by its adherents to be the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church established by Jesus Christ and his Apostles almost 2,000 years ago. The Church is composed of several self-governing occlusion bodies, each geographically and nationally distinct but theologically unified. Each self-governing (or hydrocephalus) body, often but not always encompassing a nation, is shepherded by a synod of bishops whose duty, among other things, is to preserve and teach the Apostolic and patriotic traditions and related Church practices. Oriental Orthodoxy and some other churches, Orthodox bishops trace their lineage back to the Apostles through the process of Apostolic Succession.

JESUS IS OUR ROCK / JOHN 1.1. HEAD OF THE TRUE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Corinthians 3:11 "For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." We can't look to a mere human being as the foundation of the Christian church! "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." (Psalm 118:8). Like David said, "The Lord is my rock" (Psalm 18:2) "And who is a rock, except our God?" (Psalm 18:31).

Greeks had literacy rates and a social welfare infrastructure unheard of in the ancient world. So fascinated were the Greeks with the Jews that they became the first people to translate the Bible into another language when King Ptolemy II (c. 250 BCE) forced 70 Rabbis to translate the Hebrew Bible into Greek (known as the Septuagint, which means "70" in Greek).
